The Swedish Supreme Administrative Court ruled in favor
of the claim by Calle Montell, 50, for state compensation,
saying the injury was work-related because it occurred
while he was on the job, according to Reuters.

The ruling brought to conclusion a legal battle that
began on October 31, 2002, when Montell bit into a cookie
offered by a customer – and cracked his tooth on a cherry
pit.
Montell sells ceramic stoves.

The local social insurance office denied him state
compensation for the $570 it cost to repair the damage,
rejecting his claim that the injury was work-related. Two
courts dealt with the case before the Supreme
Administrative Court issued its ruling, which cannot be
appealed.
